Skipping a bit for a meMeME, or, rather, for a himHimHIM: [link]
(There are pictures from over 4 months ago. More were - and are constantly - taken, of course, but I found it difficult to go over some of them from the last few months, because my father in law was in several of them, and his passing away is still too near for these pictures to become a lovely memory rather than a sad one. So, yes, I've just skipped over a few pictures in order to upload the ones that I already did. Repression is a perfectly good coping mechanism, at least for a while, and uploading pictures with short short summer clothes in the middle of winter is way overdue.)
(Also, today is the beginning of the Hebrew month of Adar, which contains the holiday of Purim. The saying about it is, that ever since Adar starts, one should add to the happiness and joy. So I'm doing my part, or at least trying, through one of the most joyous things I can come up with.)
(And now I wanna combine this with the "Princess Bride" quote about the MLT. Oh, well.)
Goodness, Nilly. Your son's getting so big! He has a lovely smile.
Thanks, Calli!
The funny thing is, since those pictures are over four months old, when I look at them, I think "Oh, how much he's grown since the summer! He was so little then".
Babies change so quickly (and the DH wonders when we'll have stop referring to him a baby and change the word to a toddler. At first we thought that it would be when he started talking. But he already says a few words - starting with "Aba", which is Hebrew for "Daddy", but not just that - and he's still a baby, at least IMHO).
Aww. That's an awesome way to start my day.
Nilly! Amitai is so cute! He's got a gorgeous smile.
hee!

Nilly, you sure do have a smile-making baby! What a dear!
NILLY! and PiBABY!
I haven't even looked at the pictures yet and my day is already better.
Last night was good at home. Per my therapist's instructions I asked mac if I was safe once we got home and wow was he surprised by that and a little hurt, but I think he understands. I stayed close by him all evening because he needs that.
This restores a bit of my faith in humanity: We're being trolled when the CSI guys go zoom/enhance off someone's eyeball, or two people do twice the work by both typing on a keyboard at once. At least, I hope both those are examples of the trolling. iid hate to think they're being offered up sincerely.
Nilly, I know your beautiful boy looks little to you in those pictures, since they're 4 months old, but all I can think is "He's so BIG!!!" And beautiful, too, of course.
Apparently he wasn't legally allowed to drive without the surgery. I mean, they were going to give him the license anyway, but they shouldn't have, so he had the surgery. Jesus.
My dad is a scary driver, for a lot of reasons, and one of them is his vision (he's 70 [Jesus, my dad is 70; what am *I*, 40? oh, wait], so declining vision is normal, but it still doesn't make his driving less scary), and he had cataract surgery in one eye at the beginning of this month, and the other eye is scheduled for early March. He said that there is a huge difference in the eye that was operated on, which is a relief to me. I'm hoping his driving will become less scary, if not totally normal.
